will this work for cat litter? My cat scatters it and my vacuum refuses to pick it up

I bought this in part to deal with cat litter. It does pick up litter if it is scattered in the middle of the floor, but you can't really use it to get around the edges of the box, where most of the litter seems to collect in my house. I tried it on clumping corn and clay.

I use it in my hobby room and it picks up my beads along with thread and of course lint. So I think it would pick up your kitty litter very good.

I have 4 cats and love this for how it cleans the carpets. As far as picking up litter and dry cat food-use a broom. You will be much happier. I find this will spit those tiny granules very far and that will make your cleaning task more tedious and annoying. My litter boxes are in a pantry with a tile floor, so I sweep the floor first, then do a pass with the Bissell. You could try getting the litter up with the hose and the extender attachment, but I think the hose is too short and too stiff to make it efficient for that kind of job.

The vacuum has a small container for the dirt. This may not stand up to your cat's mess. It works well for cleaning my carpet and hardwood floors but we have a small apartment. It is not a great expense, though. Perhaps, you should try it.

Picks it up decently well - Turn it to the bare floor setting so that the brush isn't running, and it'll pick up most of it. I usually go over the bathroom with a broom and mop as well afterwards though, I like things sparkling clean! In the carpet it picks all the litter up.

I haven't tried on cat litter, but shouldn't be a problem. We have wood floors and our kids loves cheerios. This one does a good job cleaning cheerios on the floor. light weight makes it easy for my wife. Small enough to fit in any place.

I'd also like to know about the cat "Yak" as we call it. Since no one has answered the first poster I guess I'll just have to get the vacuum and give it a try. Can't be any worse than cleaning it by hand and hopefully it will be better.

No, not at all! I have to vacuum over it repeatedly to get it to pick up cat litter and then once it finally does it will spit it back out somewhere else. If I pick up the vacuum to put it on the rug it spits out cat litter everywhere. I wish I could return it. It's a waste of money. Completely useless.

I have a cat and use this vacuum mainly for carpeted areas. It sucks up the litter. I use YESTERDAYS NEWS recycled paper litter and just started using Feline Pine Litter and it sucks them both up. I am very, VERY happy with this vacuum and wouldn't trade it for any other.

I have a cat and this broom does great sweeping up the fur -- really excellent. For cat litter it's not as good...with my floors the litter gets stuck in the cracks so if the wood is smooth then it would probably be okay. Hope this helps!

Yes it does, it seems like it would work with almost any type of litter. I think that litter not scooping well is more a function of the litter than the scoop. If it is good quality clumping litter it will be much easier to remove liquid and solid waste. If it is non clumping or poorly clumping it will be nearly impossible to scoop the soggy mess in the bottom of the pan.

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

It picks up my cat litter with no issues at all... I really like the vacuum...would buy it again.

I don't think so because cats generally want to cover up their elimination. Plus, their stuff stinks pretty bad, so you definitely want to use cat litter for the benefit of you and the cat.

If you are using the scoopfree do not use the clumping. It can jam the mechanism and burn out the motor. Walmart carries an inexpensive crystal litter that works great.

The furemover rubber-like material picks up lik a magnet on hard wood and tile flooring. Even dust. The hair will stick and must be cleaned off for better traction. Don't know about cat litter

If it clumps hard it should work great. We've found we like Tidy Cats Multiple Cat formula scoop able litter the best for performance and odor control.

It would probably be good for that but keep in mind that the collection "basket" that holds the waste is not very big because the vacuum itself isnt big so if its a lot of litter, you may need to clean it out often.
